The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear two challenges to the Texas abortion law on an expedited basis and set oral arguments for Nov. 1.
The high court, however, left the Texas law in place, the second time that it has refused to block the law pending resolution of the legal challenges. In a partial dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor agreed with the court’s decision to grant cert but disagreed with its refusal to enjoin the statute.
